I am wondering who or what book this trick is in. If the name does not make any sense it is the trick where a spectator picks a card then chooses to lie or tell the truth about there card selection. I saw it and it look like it would be fun to perform. How may tricks are out there with this method?

Many. In my books and Apocalypse alone.

There is also a version in the Card Magic of Nick Trost. Lots of places to find an effect of this type.

"Solomon's Mind" by David Solomon, the effect is "Steinmeyer's Nine Card Problem Done With Seven Cards"...first effect in the book.

FWIW

I thank you for this I can not wait to look into these recommendations.

Ok, I have been searching for the book that Harry L is talking about and I can not find anything where are these spell tricks located? Better yet, what are they called? I am looking for a specific one that has the truth or lie effect. The trick I think is called Cards don't lie.

The trick you may be looking for is entitled "The Lie Detector" by Ron Bauer. It's easy to do, can be done from a shuffled and borrowed deck, etc. It's the first trick in a book called, "L.I.N.T." by John Luka.

Look up Voice Print in one of my books or on one of my DVDs (or That's The Truth) among others.

For Funnytek and others: I'll try to copy/paste from another thread:

If it all possible, please check out Spelligant from Apocalypse as I mentioned above, it really is a great lie detector effect. No messy spelling, the spectator can lie at ANY point, there is only one simple sleight and no matter WHAT CARD the spectator tells you to spell, at the denouement it will ALWAYS be her card! Plus Mr. Lorayne adds a few possible kickers, although I have used the effect without them to great success - meaning I haven't tried the kickers yet!

Funkytek,

There is a routine called CARDS NEVER LIE! and it is found in Roberto Giobbi's Card Collage Light on page 93. Have fun with it.

There is a killer effect by Steven Youell in his "weapons of mass destruction" notes with this premiss. It is the best iv seen. It floors magicians and lay people. Well worth a look.
